Mehajer awaits verdict on reporter assault

A magistrate is deciding whether former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer is guilty of assaulting a female journalist after he told a Sydney court he was "bullied" by a media pack.

Seven Network reporter Laura Banks pursued the now 31-year-old Mehajer in April 2017 as he left a Sydney CBD police station following his arrest over separate allegations he assaulted a taxi driver outside Star Casino.

Video screened in Downing Centre Local Court on Monday shows Banks and other reporters attempting to interview Mehajer as a Porsche pulls up.

Mehajer invites Banks to "just jump in".

He then allegedly slammed the door on her arm, an assault charge to which he's pleaded not guilty.

The reporter's hand bruised "almost immediately" and her back is still sore 10 months after the incident.

Banks denied repeated suggestions she "goaded" and obstructed Mehajer to prolong the situation while Mehajer denies intentionally hitting her with the door.
